Oorlog en oorlog by László Krasznahorkai NL
HungaryDescription:
De wat wereldvreemde Gyorgy Korin werkt bij een archief in een Hongaars provinciestadje. Op een dag vindt hij daar een merkwaardig manuscript. Het is onduidelijk wie het geschreven heeft en wanneer. Het vertelt het verhaal van vier mannen, die in de verschillende hoofdstukken, zonder chronologie of logica, in steeds andere periodes van de wereldgeschiedenis opduiken – van de Bronstijd op Minoïsch Kreta tot de Romeinse provincie Britannia, in Gibraltar ten tijde van Columbus – voortdurend op de vlucht voor oorlog en verwoesting.
Korin raakt gefascineerd door de teksten en be... continue

Uruguay
Uruguay
Description:
Since its U.S. debut a quarter-century ago, this brilliant text has set a new standard for historical scholarship of Latin America. It is also an outstanding political economy, a social and cultural narrative of the highest quality, and perhaps the finest description of primitive capital accumulation since Marx. Rather than chronology, geography, or political successions, Eduardo Galeano has organized the various facets of Latin American history according to the patterns of five centuries of exploitation. Thus he is concerned with gold and silver, cacao and cotton, rubber and coffee, fruit, hi... continue

Orientalism by Edward W. Said EN
PalestineDescription:
For generations now, Edward W. Said's Orientalism has defined our understanding of colonialism and empire, and this Penguin Modern Classics edition contains a preface written by Said shortly before his death in 2003. In this highly-acclaimed work, Edward Said surveys the history and nature of Western attitudes towards the East, considering orientalism as a powerful European ideological creation - a way for writers, philosophers and colonial administrators to deal with the 'otherness' of eastern culture, customs and beliefs. He traces this view through the writings of Homer, Nerval and Flaubert... continue

AngolaDescription:
Se é certo que as crianças crescem em segredo, como diz Ana Paula Tavares, de vez em quando comprova-se que esse segredo espera uns anos para se desvendar amadurecido em literatura. Assim é o novíssimo livro de estórias do jovem poeta e ficcionista angolano Ondjaki. Em Os da minha rua o autor reedifica os da sua casa: da memória, do afeto, da identidade. Com escrita depurada casada com o oralidade, reconstrói-se o universo da infância e o correr da vida em Luanda: a escola e os professores cubanos, brincadeiras e descobertas, festas em casa dos amigos e dos amigos dos familiares. Atesta-se des... continue
